l
Store the IDin variable:Select in which jobinfo, local or global variable you want to
store the error ID.
l Reset to defaults:Resets all options in this tab to their default values.
When storing the message or ID, if they are stored in a jobinfo they will be available in any
error handling process where errors are being forwarded. If your process continues after the
error, the contents of the variables selected in this window will be available to the rest of your
process, or as long as they are not overwritten.
Common Errors
Though some error messages are specific to a task in particular, others may apply to any and
all tasks because they are related more to the system than to PReS itself. Some examples
would be W3813, W3830, W3991, W4005. These correspond to issues such as not having any
space to write files, permission errors on folders or files, etc.
Comments Tab
The Comments tab is common to all tasks. It contains a single text area (Task comments)that
lets you write comments about the task. These comments are saved when the dialog is closed
with the OKbutton, and are displayed in the Task Comments Pane.
OL Connect Send
Connect Send allows for PostScript files to be received over the internet from any Windows
Desktop application. It is in fact an application with two components. The first is a Windows
printer driver while the other is a group of Workflow plugins (Job Processor, Get Job Data and
Get Data). These two components work together indiscriminately, each needing the other to
function.
Connect Send can be used in unlicensed mode and licensed mode.
The Unlicensed mode (default) allows users to push documents to Connect Send. They will
receive a pop-up message in the Notification Area confirming whether the job was received or
not.
The Licensed mode causes the Connect Send Printer Driver to request a web page that will
be displayed in the user’s browser in order to allow them to enter job specific information. The
information from this web page can be used to tell Workflow what to do next.
